Now it’s time to hear from some new voices who see grace in a whole new light. Welcome Lucile de Godoy and The Lonely Author to our on going conversation and series. They’ve dropped by to talk about peace which is one of the fruits of grace.

For Lucile, the question of what grace meant to her took her to place we haven’t yet visited. I’ll let her explain.

“The question brought me to last Hatha yoga class when the instructor talked about feeling light, in peace, having patience with ourselves throughout our daily journeys. My conclusion was that in order to do that we need to leave the ego and speak from the heart, relieving ourselves from fulfilling external expectations.”

Talk of grace has been buzzing around not only the blogosphere but on Twitter as well where @anniescribes a poetic definition for grace, which dovetails with Lucile and The Lonely Author’s views. Annie takes it one step further and explains how grace through peace leads to giving oneself space to be and room for growth.

Thank you for participating! You brought a fresh perspective to the mix and I am grateful. Feel free to drop any other thoughts you have on this subject or any of the others we’ve been discussing. It is always a pleasure to include your thoughts.

I’m loving your pulling many bloggers, writers, and opinions into the discussion! It’s great to see what you’ve done with this topic. As the tragic events of the weekend unfold, we need to allow ourselves #GraceAndSpace to then be able to allow others that same respect and forgiveness. Allowing people to feel as if they’ve been heard, that their voice matters, and continuing to accept others who are different than we are is the only way to move forward in a world with more peace, love, and understanding — no matter who we are. #lovely

Ahoy Melinda!
I say, grace is not just a matter of meditation and insight. It has to have the elements of fun and joy in it. Like, a graceful effort in play or dance or a sport. Grace for me, will definitely be like how gracefully one accepts others flaws, others’ brighter and dull sides. And then, it’s meant to be fun! 🙂

Thank you! I like the way you define grace and that you introduce new dimensions and avenues for acquiring it. Thank you so much for your reply! May I quote you in an upcoming piece? If there’s more you’d like to say on this do let me know and I will include it in a future post 🙂
